Pros

Most of your team cares about you, great training department, PTO is good for just starting out.

Cons

Managers are lacking skills, HR does not care about you or your problems one bit- they only look out for managers and above no matter how horrible that manager is, turning into a Wells Fargo type atmosphere with how sales-oriented they are becoming and incentive in the branches is capped, if you are even able to obtain their outrageous minimums so be prepared to sell your soul. No acceptance for people of color or different religions or sexual orientation since the CEO and HR Director are super Christian.

Thanks for the positive feedback on SPIRE’s Training Department and new hire benefits. We’re sorry that you felt SPIRE’s front line management and HR wasn’t supportive. SPIRE does strive to acknowledge changes that need to be made. In fact a few recent changes we’ve made include changes to our branch incentive program (which resulted in many more employees qualifying) along with launching a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council with plans to further enhance our organizational diversity. Part of our overall process does continue to encourage in-depth conversations with our members so we are better able to understand their financial needs. Overall, SPIRE does care about all employees and support them. Again, we thank you for your feedback.

What a Great Place To Work

Pros

They really care about their employees. They don't forget to do the little things from jeans weeks when it's too cold out to summer fun packages to let us know that they appreciate us!! I always feel like I can go to my manager and will be listened to and my point of view will be taken into consideration. This is a culture that has to come from the top down - LOVE IT!

Cons

Can't think of anything - they really care about their employees and members. We continue to grow and change and that is exciting!!
